More Than Meets The Eye
Chapter 1-Only the beginning
It was yet another chaotic evening in Darkland, the constant cries of Magmaarghs could be made out notably across the desolate mainland.
It was dinner time in the koopa household; an array of silver plated platters covered the large oak dining table. Dozens of servants hurried around, rushing to serve the royal family on time. One by one Bowser and the koopalings eagerly made their way to their designated seats at the table.
"Kids, I've scheduled the next takeover of the Mushroom Kingdom three months from now, so starting from tomorrow Kammy and Kamek are gonna train you so you'll be in shape cause you can't defeat Mario if you're all fat arses. Also, Morton I'm putting you on a vegetable diet before you become any...worse." Stated Bowser.
"But King Dad I'm not fat... I, I'm just muscly, it's Roy who's the real fatty around here!" Complained Morton whilst stuffing his face greedily, with a greasy burger and French fries.
"You've got it all wrong Mr Tubby. I've seen how you sneak into the kitchen, when nobody's lookin' to eat Lemmy's candy."
"So you're the one taking my candy. That was my special emergency candy in case of a bad situation."
Ludwig stopped drinking his green tea and shook his head vigorously. "No, no, no how many times; have I warned you Lemmington? Too much sugar is harmful for your teeth and health and how would candy possibly help oneself in a bad situation?"
Lemmy cleared his throat. "Urrrm, for extra energy maybe?"
"Yeah, candy can be used in emergencies, for energy and it can even save people's lives Lemmy!" Replied Larry sarcastically.
Iggy stared coldly across the table at Larry giving him a stern look. "Oh don't be like that Larry. Lemmy may be slightly naive but he isn't that naive."
"You sure got that right Iggy." Agreed Wendy whilst bashing her hot pink claws against her disintegrating phone screen.
"GWENDOLYN OPHELIA KOOPA! Do I constantly have to remind you that cell phones are forbidden at this table?" Yelled Bowser gritting his teeth furiously.
"How dare you call my smart phone a CELL PHONE! This is the latest Ikoopa model for your info, so get up to date DADDYKINS!"
"Cell phone, smart phone it's the same thing..."
"Ya phone maybe up to date but ya attitude sure isn't that's fo' sure." Retorted Roy.
"You assumed you were the queen of sass not any more. So I advise you to get up to date." Exclaimed Ludwig grinning with glee.
They'll never appreciate the good things in life.
Wendy excused herself, as her brothers and father continued to chatter on at the table. The clicking of her high heels could be heard as she stormed upstairs to the confines of her bedroom.
After a minute of non-stop stair climbing an exhausted Wendy finally made it to her bedroom door, which was plastered with masses of glittery stickers, bows, ribbons and tons of quotes she found funny and inspirational; such as 'be a super koopa not a party pooper' and 'perfectly pretty in pink'.
Wendy swung the door open, her room was a princess' paradise she had all the latest clothes, an abundance of makeup some that she hadn't even used yet, shoes in every colour and shade you could imagine... crimson, magenta, cerulean, olive you name it she had it! A luxurious king-sized bed camouflaged by the many pillows that rest upon it and an oversized plasma TV against the wall.
She had everything a girl could ever wish for... but she still desired more.
Wendy collapsed into the sea of pillows on her bed, gazing intently out her window. She was just about to change into her pyjamas when her phone started ringing. Wendy picked up her phone and answered.
"Oh hi Toadette how are you?"
"I'm good thanks, I can't believe it has been THREE DAYS since we last spoke!"
"I know... it has been sooooo boring not taking to you. Daddykins has just been going on and on about how he wants to takeover the Mushroom Kingdom again; he said that we all need to get in shape to fight Mario." Wendy complained.
"I'm so glad I live in Toad Town and not the Mushroom Kingdom there's always some type of drama over there."
Wendy furrowed her eyebrows in annoyance and recalled the last takeover.
Bowser would tell everyone his 'brilliant' plan, Kammy would attempt to convince Bowser that the plan would go wrong as usual... but to no avail. Bowser would then proceed to kidnap Princess Peach; Wendy, her brothers, Boom Boom and Pom Pom would be flown out to their castles. Then within a matter of days Mario would arrive, beat them to pulp with no effort and save the princess like he usually did!
"I'm just sick and tired of these non-stop takeovers. I just wish that Daddykins would realise there's more to life than kidnapping Princess Peach and blaming his children for 'not working hard enough to defeat Mario'."
"I think everyone wishes he would stop kidnapping Peach... but I don't see that happening any time soon."
"Oh that reminds me Daddykins said that he's going somewhere this evening, you should come and sleepover at mine."
"Totally it's been ages since I've been to yours, I'll see you soon then Wendy... bye."
"Bye."
...
Toadette got up from her living room sofa hurrying towards the kitchen in excitement...
"Mother! Mother!" Exclaimed Toadette as she reached the kitchen door.
"Yes sweet-pea!" Replied a purple, bespectacled toad, sipping a cup of coffee.
"Wendy invited me over for a sleepover tonight, please can I go? It has been ages since I last slept at her place." Toadette twiddled her thumbs innocently, giving her mother puppy dog eyes.
Concern was plastered all over her mother's face... "Toadette don't you think it is short notice and rather late to go to Wendy's?"
"It is a bit late, but please please please can I go?"
Toadette's mother sighed resting her coffee on the glistening kitchen counter..."Well I suppose I could do with some time to myself; but stay safe and make sure you arrive at Wendy's before it becomes too dark outside."
"I will!" Said Toadette. Squealing joyfully as she scrambled upstairs to her bedroom, nearly tripping over in the process.
Toadette paused in thought merely seconds after entering her bedroom.
Now what should I pack to take to Wendy's? Well I'll obviously need my toothbrush, shoes and clothes; so I'll take my Boobow notepad, Luna Bop fluffy pen(after all you'll never know when you'll have to take important notes), a torch, cherry chapstick, a towel, socks, slippers, my favourite book(Captain Syrup setting sail), my purse and I'm ready to go!
Toadette proceeded to collect the items she needed from various drawers, shelves and storage boxes around her room, then she wasted no time cramming everything into her backpack, ready to see Wendy once again.
Practically racing down the stairs Toadette made her way to the front door and outside grabbing her coat then waving goodbye to her mother in the process.
Keys jangled as the door was locked.
Few residents of Toad Town ventured out of their homes during the evening... leaving many streets and walkways deserted.
Toadette began to make her way to the bus station passing numerous houses and weaving her way through what seemed like an endless amount of streets. The sky began to cloud over, turning the deep oranges and reds of the sunset into a dark gray fluffy blanket.
Oh no! I hope it doesn't start raining again it's been doing that for the past two days non-stop.
Suddenly roars of thunder filled the sky causing Toadette to jump in fear... not long after flashes of lightning lit up the darkened sky followed by the constant slapping of torrential rain cascading to the ground.
Toadette quickened the pace she was walking at and soon her walking turned into sprinting. Water flew forcefully out of the puddles that had formed on the ground as Toadette continued to sprint through the intensifying storm.
I have to make it to the bus station before this storm becomes any worse; there has to be a quicker route to get there.
Toadette's eyes darted to and fro as she searched for a shortcut to the station... She soon spotted what looked like an alleyway in the distance.
This alleyway looks slightly suspicious, but I can't afford to take the long route right now... Eww there are webs everywhere!
Toadette carefully navigated her way through the alleyway ducking to avoid walking into any of the cod-webs.
Toadette's sprinting came to a halt; she could hear a voice echoing as she reached the end of the alleyway. Toadette quickly peaked around the corner.
"Boss I've got the package where should I meet you?" The figure disguised in a trench coat disappeared into the night...
First chapter all done! I hope you all enjoyed it! (^3^)
Who do you think was wearing the trench coat?
I'll leave that question with you, please leave a review and bye for now. :)
